Color in Horses.

Germantown Telegraph
A good horse is never a bad color, it is said.
Still color has its importance, especially as indi-
eating temper and purity of breed. Thus black
colored horses are of a hot and fiery temper and
disposition; the chestnut and brown bay are
reckoned to have strength and spirit and the
white are always tender. As to gray. it has
been observed that those which tend the most
to black are stronger than the brighter grays
There are besides these other colors in horses
as the roam, which seems to be the offspring OF
the bay and white, or the bay anu gray. The
sorrel and white seem to be the author of the
dun and cream eolor. and as for those horses
which are called strawberry. they may probably
proceed from coupling between bright cray
and bay. There are also some horses mottled
red commonly called piebald), either black
and white spots, or chestnut and white.
AS to the choice Of color in a stallion, person
of great skill says the dapple bay, the white
bay, and the dapple gray are to be preferred;
but does not object to a horse of pure black,
provided it has a white star and white foot
In the judgment of Others, however, he should
be all OF one color.
We find in many cases that horses Of bright
bay color, with black name and tail, are good
as well as beautiful, and these nave commonly
the tips of their ears and the extreme parts OF
their legs black. 1t is also common for daDple
gray to have white name and tail, with the
former mentioned extremltes white, such as the
tips of the ears and the extreme parts OF the
legs; but for other colored horses except the
dun, seldom find their names and tails OF .
color different from that of the body; but in q
dun horse the long hair in the name and ia il
is commonly black. and for the most part there
is also black stripe down the back, which is
not little remarkable, as it is not observed in
any other creature except the ass, mule, ZEBRA
etc. In horse. indeed, it is only a plain
straight stripe, but in the ass there is always a
cross stroke of black over the shoulders so that
if the S kin was to be opened and spread the
black wonld exactly represent the figure of the
cross. Some pretend to tell US, as to the cross
upon the ASS skins, that asses were not thus
marked before the Christian era and that none
are without the sign, but upon what good
authority they assert this we do not know
The produce of white horse and white
mare will be white, and, by keeping the breed
constantly without any intermixtnre- of color,
the color of the original may be maintained.
So black horse and black mare will produce
black brown horse and brown mare brown,

The Java market is inclined toward greater
frmness. Sugars barely steady. The demand
for canned goods and dried fruits continues
usually good, and stocks of the wholesale houses
are we'll reduced. In the produce markets there
is little to note. The poultry market is
steady at quotations; the same is true of butter.
while the egg market Gets black eve, the price
dropping to 10 cents per dozen. Reports from
the East are that the market is glutted, South
ern as well as Western eggs being in large sup
ply.

The Wisconsin, Farmers Institute.

Chicago Tribune
ganized as Wisconsin for the institute meetings
held in oil portions of the State during the win
ter season. These meetings are ffty-two in rum
Der, and embrace not only the best practical tai
ent of the State butm eminent in their sever
al specialties from various parts of the country
So much attention have these meetings attracted
and SO large and appreciative have been the au-
diences. that bill is now before the Legislature
of the State to increase the annual appropriation
from So, 600 to $12, 600. So carefully has tho
small annual appropriation been handled by SUI
perintendent Morrison that it may be expected
the increased appropriation will be as economic
ally expended. 1t cannot fail to add vastly to
the productive industry of the Commonwealth.
The university of the State under whose auspices
these meetings are held has accomplished great
practical work for the agricultural interests
there. There is little doubt but the Legislature
will grant the additional sum asked.
These institutes .'giit-edged' affairs.
There is little science discussed at these meet
ings, except the practical application of science
as it pertains to#the everyday work of the farm.
There no long winded. abstruse essays lnfiict-
ed. The speakers, as rule, deal in the prac.
teal, and the addresses are intended to be more
suggestive than fowery and with a view to call
out discussion. This has been the practical re-
suit, and speakers who attempt to theorize are
often subjected to a sharp fire of questions that
not .infrequently leaves them ir deep water:
Minnesota is also working in the same drec-
ton. The Farmer, of that State, says bin has
bee introduced into the Minnesota Senate by
Mr.. Hoard for the inauguration and promotion
of farmers institutes. The bill calls for 81,
from the State treasury. The greater part Of
this money is to be expended in the payment Of
corps of lectures to be chosen from man GEM
petent and experienced in agriculture. The in
tention OF the bill is to provide each county of
the State with one or more institutes annually,
the expense of single institute to exceed 500.
The management is 20 be placed under the direc-
ton of the regents of the university tho active
work to De under the direction Of salaried su-
perintendent, to be chosen by the board of re-
gents This seems substantially the same plan
under which the institutes carried forward
with such eminent success ia Wisconsin.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 10.
Country roads are in wretched condition
with the coming out of the frost, and SO far az
the country trade is concerned. quiet times may
be looked for until the roads become solid From
towns directly on the railroads, however. there
is good order demand Travelling statesmen
find it quite difficult to get about as they strike
out any distance from the railroads, and. as a
consequence, the merchants who can be reached
are drummed to death, but are disposed to adopt
conservative policy in their purchases. In
prices to-day the changes were few. The -four
market is dull. The export movement was in
terfered with somewhat by the strikes East.
Aside from this there is a tame tone to the mar
ket. as has been the case for some time past.
The Boston journal says of -four: 1t is seldom
that we have more than two months of such in
difference and hesitation, aud it is also seldom
that we have such steady market during
SO dull period There have been but
few changes in prices during the past
two months and this steadiness leads
many receivers here to expect better things
before long. A reaction is thought by MANY to
be imminent Said one prominent dealer yes

active; the homo trade will follow suit: the

The monthly report Of the Department Of Ag-
mato packing declined materially from 1883 to
1885 from overproduction and reduced values
The requirement. however. exceeds two million
cases, and grows with increase Of population
The American Grocer states that the pack OF
1883 aggregated 2,943,579 cases of two dozen
cans, and that Of 1884 was 2,O2ll77 cases. The
packers have had rising market and the prod
uct will probably be greater in 1887.

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1887-01-22

A NUMBER OF the good citizens of
District No. 10 and 10 in this county
have requested that we make it known
through the CHRONICLE that they de-
sire the enactment OF a "No- Fence
Law" They urge this as necessity
required by the depression in the price
OF all farm products at this time and
the requirement of the exercise of
every economy. They claim that
they are now required to expend labor
and money in keeping up fences which
might be dispensed with ii every man
was required to fence in his own pas
lures and no stock be allowed to run at
large. We invite the attention of our
Representatives to this request and feel
confident that they will give it the de-
liberate consideration which it's i'm
portance demands.

Mr.. ENGLEBERT GAIssER died at his
home one and half miles from Clarks-

gagged in the work of iron fencing and
Jail work. He leaves wife and seven
